Abstract
Various types of materials used in the battery have varied effect on the human life. Usage of acid materials, corrosive electrolytes etc., can denitely
affect environment and health. In this study Nutrient agar which is a basic media in microbiology laboratory is used solely in a 2A battery. Voltage of
which is checked and found that, it produces 1.22V which is approximately equal to the rechargeable basic nickel batteries. In series with
commercially available 2A battery, it adds the voltage to lit a 3V electric bulb which glows brightly. Since it does not contain any toxic chemicals, if
voltage can be slightly increased by further studies, this can denitely be used in button and cylindrical battery.
